17 Weeks

How far along: 17 Weeks (baby is the size of an onion)

 

Due date: April 16, 2014 (my Dad's birthday)

Gender: Not sure yet. Our Dr. tried to find out at our appointment last week, but he couldn't tell. We will hopefully find out at our 20 week appointment on the 26th.

Guesses: I've pretty much felt all along that I am having a girl, so that's going to be my guess until we find out in a few weeks. Dan won't really say either way, but he really wants a boy. (although he probably wouldn't admit to it openly)

Weight gain: Last I checked, which was 2 weeks ago, I hadn't gained anything. We'll see how long that lasts.

Movement: I've felt the baby move since 13 weeks, but lately those kicks have gotten stronger and have turned into little bumps. I don't feel them everyday but when I do it's the greatest feeling. 

Maternity clothes: Wearing some awesome Old Navy Maternity Skinny Jeans. Had to give up on most of my pants as they just weren't fitting and the rubber-band trick wasn't working too well either.

Stretch marks: None. Slathering on Burt's Bees Mama Bee Belly Butter.

Sleep: My sleep hasn't changed much except for getting up at least once a night to go pee.

Purchased baby items: One BumGenius cloth diaper and the cutest pair of baby moccasins. 

Best moment this week: Getting moved into our new house.

Worst moment this week: Living out of boxes and not knowing where anything is.

Miss anything: Oh yes I do. Deli meat all the way. I want a Jimmy John's Turkey Tom SOOOO bad. That will definitely be my "after baby is born meal."

Cravings: Spicy and salty foods. I could eat Mexican and Thai food everyday if Dan would let me.

Queasy or sick: Feeling great now. Once the "all day nausea" went away at 13 weeks, I've felt great.

Looking forward to: Finding out if there's a boy or a girl cooking in the oven. :)
